Silent Circle Acquires Kesala

Silent Circle, an enterprise-class mobile security, privacy and compliance solutions company, today announced the acquisition of Maryland-based Kesala.

Kesala developed GoSilent, a mobile firewall, WiFi hotspot and VPN cloud service outfitted with government-grade encryption technology. GoSilent will help Silent Circle capitalize on a global business market in a constant battle to assure data security by establishing security across desktops, laptops, servers, mobile phones and IoT devices.

“The concern over finding a solution to prevent data loss is pervasive,” said Gregg Smith, Silent Circle’s CEO. “Corporations can be fined substantially for breaches of data involving lost devices, and the associated IP. Integrating GoSilent into our product suite will allow corporations to confidently and simply add an additional layer of protection to their global business operations with a device specifically designed to prohibit data compromise.”
